An inventor from Troy, Va., has considered the drawbacks of the age-old method of lifting and lowering toilet lids. "Having to contact a toilet lid directly with the hand can lead to contamination and the spread of harmful germs," he said. This inspired me to design the Toilet Lid Opener."

This accessory provides a more sanitary way to lift and lower a toilet lid by preventing direct contact. It avoids the spread of harmful germs, as well as promotes convenience and peace of mind. The easy-to-use accessory is ideal for households, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, stores, restaurants and public restrooms.

The original design was submitted to the Richmond office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
